Just tested more & I misspoke.
It's not just User shell folders -- any folder that has a display name
assigned by the LocalizedResourceName entry in desktop.ini will, when
renamed, change the LocalizedResourceName rather than the actual folder name
in the file system.
A folder has to have its read-only attribute set to tell Explorer to process
its desktop.ini file. Perhaps the read-only attribute was cleared when the
folder reverted to its actual name.
